I'm not legally obligated to eat in chaos and that's the purpose of the meal. People don't buy meals at a restaurant to stare or fondle it. How far would you take that mindeset? If the cooks got in a fist fight and it upset your date would you still be obliged? The meal may have been provided, but the service wasn't. The service includes a place to sit in relative peace.If it hits your table you're absolutely legally obligated to pay for it.
To not do so is theft whether you eat it or not because it's food you ordered and received. What you do with it after that is up to you, but you owe the restaurant the cost of the meal.
The service isn't just a nice waitress bosom to glare at, it includes the table and atmosphere. According to you, if they set the dinner down and told you that they need the table, go sit at the bar, you still owe. BS, they'd loose in court all day everyday.You're certainly free to leave, but you're legally bound to pay for the food. Contrary to popular opinion, the food is what you pay for. Service is an added bonus to entice repeat business.
People are more likely to go back to a restaurant if the service is good, but we gotta pay the piper regardless of whether the service is worth a damn or not.
All of you would think differently if you had an autistic child.

this society claims to love kids....
Bones who said that? My experience is the opposite people seem to have less patience for little ones these days, hell people don't even want kids in airplanes or restaurants anymore.
Did you even read the letter? It's most likely a family restaurant for God sake! Nobody would argue that your not correct in upscale environments.

sherpa bags and crates in the hold are where you put out of control pets.....
Those words were used to demonstrate the ridiculouness of your argument. I've been in business 27 years and me telling them "you owe me" won't cut the mustard. I have to provide the serve. Your theory also omits the fact that someone may find the food horrible. Serving a meal, in a restaurant, has certain expectations. Noisey amospheres aren't one of them.In most instances, the manager will eat the cost of the meal in hopes of salvaging repeat business, but that's his/her decision to make. Not yours. If you're told to pay the bill and refuse to, you're a thief.
As for the rest of your post, I'll not address words that are put in my mouth, tyvm.

This is all well and nice....BUT....what about the people who went to your restaurant to get away from their own children, had sitters, and needed a break from kids in general?
Your thoughts?
I don't and any restaurant too stupid to handle the situation doesn't have to worry about my legal tender.... you won't have to worry about your tender sensibilities.

There is nothing worse than going to a restaurant and having someone's brats run around screeching. I understand that sometimes, parents have to take their kids with them, but I wouldn't stand for any child making noises and disrupting my meal.
I wouldn't have been so kind.
Allow it. Breastfeeding is natural and normal and if you don't like it, you don't have to look.
Believe it or not, so are children.
Of course, but older children can be taught to behave. Babies cannot.

I would never eat at that restaurant again if I were one of the people sitting near the woman and her loud autistic daughter.
When I go out to eat or some relaxation I do not think in terms of PC, OBP(other people's bullshit) or social grace and tolerance in these situations.
I think that I hardly ever go out and when I do it is to take a break from my normal routine. I think about the cash I am laying out and the goal is to relax...
What I do is ask for another seat somewhere else. I am not looking to create a more difficult situation if the child has a disability. If the kid is being a brat that is another story.
If it is a child behaving badly because the parents aren't parenting well, that's one thing. If it is a child with a disabiity, it's an entirely different matter. Possibly the mother didn't take the child to MacDonald's or the like becaus the atmosphere there would be far more difficult for a child with autism to handle. That could be very likely. Possibly she doesn't leave her with a baby sitter because it is difficult to find a sitter who knows how to take care of a child with autism. Possibly she's a single parent who can't afford a sitter and wanted a nice meal out for a change. Lots of possibilities here that make this not a clear cut case of just an annoying child with a parent making bad choices. How often does this happen to you, going to a 'nice' restaurant and dealing, not with poorly behaved children, but with a child with autism who may not be able to behave properly? Is this woman never allowed to go out to a nice meal?
Note in the article the restaurant manager says he lost a child. He is referring to his own gratitude of having a child at all after having lost his first child, and his gratitude she was okay, not burdened with any disability. Children are a precious gift, and those who are blessed to have healthy, ordinary kids are most blessed of all.
To the other patrons it comes down to "Your child is giving me the creeps....remove her from my presence"
The mother is doing the best she can under the circumstances. She should not be expected to keep her child from public view because it makes you uncomfortable
